I love the little known MMO Dofus. Ive been playing it on and if for almost 20 years now. Lots of very different classes, gathering and manufacturing, and a very lovely art style. The combat is grid & turn based, kind-of like Final Fantasy tactics.

- Hacknet, it's almost like a detective game in a way
- The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, weird gary told me to add this but it's good in it's own right
- Flight (flash game), fly a paper airplane, buy upgrades, it's kinda like the Learn To Fly series

The Adventures of Lolo - a puzzle game on the NES. There were 1 or 2 sequels depending on how you count and they were fun too.
It’s a puzzle game with fairly simple mechanics but surprising complexity and difficulty. I beat both US versions and designed levels for a knockoff but have never met anyone in person that has heard of it.
The Finals.
I love it, it's also among one of the most popular games right now.
Never see anyone talking about it.

“Hide and go fuck yourself.“
SCP:SL(SCP: Secret Laboratory Yes Steam Only
Edit:Fix Link and Grammer
::: spoiler Description/Opinion of the game
a multiplayer Game uses SCP stories, and inspired by SCP:CB(SCP: Containment Breach)/SCP:CB multiplayer, you play as chaos,Mtf,scps,d-bois and scientists. in this game it takes place in SITE-02, you can set nukes, etc.
The goal is you must survive. the group that survives (Foundation,Chaos,scp) will win.
it also relies on community hosted servers.(the devs also host one)
it takes place in a non-cannon site-02.
its pretty fun to play ,and very good for VC, it feels designed for it.

The Cube Escape series. Free to play escape the room puzzle games with a really creepy vibe

Hmm. I don't know if they'd stand the test of time, but a few older games I enjoyed a lot back in the day that aren't going to show up much of anywhere due to age:
-
Loony Labyrinth, a 2D video pinball game for the Mac and Windows by Little Wing Software. I've played huge numbers of tables on newer and more sophisticated engines, but that table kept me coming back for more hours of gameplay than any later ones. Not on GOG or Steam, though Little Wing sells copies directly.
-
Flying Nightmares, or AV-8B Harrier Assault. Untextured polygon flight sim where you're operating off a US amphibious assault force; probably one of the few games kind of like Carrier Command 2 that I can think of in that you can also control other of your forces (though Flying Nightmares focuses on operating the Harriers, and Carrier Command 2 the amphibious assault ship). Doesn't look like GOG or Steam have them.
-
Eufloria. Steam link for an HD re-release. One of those "real-time 4X" games, but using plants and seeds and minimalistic graphics.
-
Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising. A spiritual successor to Carrier Command. One has an amphibious assault ship, can construct autonomous vehicles and move your ship around. Unlike Carrier Command 2, this is a single-player game. Wish that someone would make a more single-player-oriented Carrier Command 2. The graphics haven't really kept up with the time, and it tends to encourage exploiting the AI's weaknesses, but I've had a lot of fun with it.
It's not exactly unknown within its niche, but because it is niche, Rule the Waves 3, a game that simulates naval fleet command and development.
EDIT: Oh, here's an oddball, not quite as old game: Ghost Master. One acquires and upgrades different types of ghosts, then places them and uses their abilities to scare humans away from a location. Nothing else very similar to it out there that I'm aware of.
The Strider reboot. I wouldn't have minded another one of them, but I guess I'll replay it again instead.
